Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing Tour 2022

The new Honda Gold Wing Tour is a big hit, both in terms of equipment and riding dynamics. The engine remains a wonderfully smooth six-cylinder boxer that still finds its purpose in sovereignty from the bottom up. Nevertheless, the Gold Wing Tour is much more agile and sporty thanks to less weight and, above all, a new chassis. Nevertheless, there is no lack of comfort, the seat comfort and wind protection are unique. The many features are simply wonderful - you can't get much more than that. Only in terms of storage space, the new Gold Wing Tour is 40 litres smaller than its predecessor.
